I think it works this way:
The Paws don't actually send in their own money, but money which has been "given" to them to forward to the campaign office.
Why would Hitlery's top fun-raiser do something like that?
because, dear reader, presidental campaigns receive tax-payer-funded matching funds.
So why not simply pump money into the campaign to get more out?
Badabing.
Why would Hitlery's top fun-raiser do something like that?
I don't know why Hitlery's top fun-raiser would do somthing like that since, as you must be aware, doing so is against the law. And we all know that Hitlery would NEVER do something that is against the law, don't we?
You are making a great point. BUMP!!!
So a candidate could (if so inclined) take donations, receive matching funds, then take the donations plus the matching funds and give the total to others to be redonated as new money to receive double matching funds....?
In essense, the money grows by a 2^n factor. If anyone is doing this, I hope they are prosecuted to the maximum extent.
